[Opinions] Re: WDYTO Jezebel?
Sound-wise, I like it. But the connotations are far too much - all the Biblical misogynism there is seems to reflect onto the name Jezebel. I take it you do know it's now a vocabulary word (albeit an outdated one) for any woman who is evil and scheming? Certainly not concepts I'd want to burden my daughter with in these more enlightened times.

Agreed.I was just speaking about this name with a friend. It's associations are a bit too strong IMO. Same with Delilah, another pretty name that'd be tough to put on a girl thanks to the conotations.
